Chris has reportedly also had to surrender his passport “because he was deemed a flight risk,” an insider said. Chris’s lawyers have remained confident that the court will see that Chris was not at fault. “His attorneys are confident that once all the evidence is made public, it will show Chris Soules acted reasonable and did everything in his power to provide aid to Mr. Mosher,” Chris’s publicist Stan Rosenfield told Us Weekly.

Chris checked his pulse and stayed with him until the EMTs arrived. He then left so his lawyers have argued that he did everything legally required of him.
